These are expressions of an over-priviledged individual(s---though i doubt 
it's _plural_) who seems to have never travelled, spoken to or read a text 
of any person(s) who have suffered from the ignorence and oppresion of 
others, namely colonialists and fascists. These statements are extremely 
uninformed. They priviledge the priviledged. utter greedy free-for-me 
will-to-exploit capitalist crypto-fascist fucking shit.

the last sentences are one of the worst appropriations of eastern philosophy 
+ deleuzian/etc philosophy of desire. yah, collapse texts and just fucking 
masquerade, yah, that's cool. :( get fucking educated! This statements seem 
to know of only ONE art history, the one about big dicks! surrealism "an 
attack on the Bourgeois Life in the Name of Unconcious"---YAH RIGHT!!!! 
WHO'S uncoucious? and what "NAME", freud? or you and your 'buddies'(boyz 
club)?

if forgetfullness is a virtue(yah...right), have you ever heard of the 
virtue of voluntary death? try it loser!

jnvn

p.s. david---glad u said miro + klee. they obviously have totally different 
motivations than dali, etc. rock on.
